Title: Startup Errors with FreespaceOpen
Post by: Leon Hikari on January 10, 2011, 05:07:02 am: Hello,

I have a startup Problem with Freespace Open. I have only installed it for the first time and wanted to play the Silent Threat Reborn Mod. But there are Errormessages right from the start.

I installed Freespace 2 normally (not to the Windows-Directory, but to a different Harddisk) from the CD´s and then used the FreespaceOpen-Installer from Turey. There, I simply downloaded everything.

----------

The displayed Error-Messages are as follows:

Title: Re: Startup Errors with FreespaceOpen
Post by: The E on January 10, 2011, 05:18:34 am: Judging by those logs, you have made the biggest mistake you could make. As in, you didn't read the install instructions properly.

Code: [Select]
Found root pack 'L:\Renn- & Flugspiele\FreeSpace2\CooPFreeSpace2.vp' with a checksum of 0xb8ed0be0
This is probably not necessary. The Coop campaign is included in the mediavps.

Code: [Select]
Found root pack 'L:\Renn- & Flugspiele\FreeSpace2\fsport-str.vp' with a checksum of 0x08d3d38c
This needs to be in the fsport_str mod folder.

Code: [Select]
Found root pack 'L:\Renn- & Flugspiele\FreeSpace2\data\missions\a_SecFront.vp' with a checksum of 0xcee95ed9 Found root pack 'L:\Renn- & Flugspiele\FreeSpace2\data\missions\DEM.vp' with a checksum of 0x580be758 Found root pack 'L:\Renn- & Flugspiele\FreeSpace2\data\missions\Homesick.vp' with a checksum of 0xe7137285
These three need to be in their own mod folders as well.

Code: [Select]
Trying to put into 32 byte buffer: Einer für alle, alle für einen.fs2
This error basically means that the filename is too long. There is a global length limit of 32 characters (including extension) for filenames in FSO.

Now, on to the STR log:

Code: [Select]
-mod fsport-mediavps,fsport-str,fsport,mediavps
This is correct, but you do not have the 3.6.10 mediavps installed. This is not your mistake; It's the FSPort's teams' fault. To correct it, open the file named "mod.ini" in the STR folder, and replace "mediavps" with "mediavps_3612".

open the file named "mod.ini" in the STR folder, and replace "mediavps" with "mediavps_3612".
But Fury said
Quote from: Fury on January 06, 2011, 03:51:09 am
FSPort has been updated to be mediavps 3.6.12 compatible, but STR has not.
Title: Re: Startup Errors with FreespaceOpen
Post by: Goober5000 on January 10, 2011, 09:41:16 am: I think what Fury meant was that the mod.ini hadn't been changed. The campaign should work just fine if you change mod.ini. The more critical problem was updating mv_fsport.vp.
Title: Re: Startup Errors with FreespaceOpen
Post by: Fury on January 10, 2011, 12:32:34 pm: With STR I get following debug warnings in fred2 debug.

And STR crashes to assert in the very first mission.

However, FSport-mediavps is not without its own issues. There are plenty of debug errors and warnings. Let me copy a few.
Code: [Select]
WARNING: "Couldn't open texture 'bomber01-00b' referenced by model 'bomber01.pof'" at modelread.cpp:2247 WARNING: "Couldn't open texture 'shieldhit01a' referenced by model 'bomber01.pof'" at modelread.cpp:2247 Model bomber01.pof has a null moment of inertia! (This is only a problem if the model is a ship.) WARNING: "Subsystem "communications" in model "fighter02.pof" is represented as "communication" in ships.tbl. Although FS2_OPEN 3.6 and later will catch and correct this error, earlier versions (as well as retail FS2) will not. You are advised to fix this if you plan to support earlier versions of FreeSpace." at modelread.cpp:624 DDS ERROR: Couldn't open 'wep-interceptor-shine.dds' -- DDS was in an unsupported/unknown formatAnd many more, I just couldn't be arsed to go through more than one mission and I included only one error of each kind.

FSPort-mediavps and STR could really use better debugging. These are with 3.6.12 mediavps btw.

Edit: I forgot to say that STR's biggest issue is that it's not actually compatible with the latest FSPort-mediavps if you try to play it with mediavps 3.6.10. I'm guessing that the mod.ini needs to be edited to point into mediavps_3612 if you want to play STR at all, regardless of few warnings and errors.

And when you finally get past these to pilot selection and fire up the STR campaign, you're greeted with more errors and warnings.
Code: [Select]

So to play STR you pretty much need older release of fsport, fsport-mediavps and mediavps. Though I doubt they were free of errors and warnings either. :rolleyes:

Right now it's better forget about fsport-mediavps and mediavps, a lot less trouble that way.

Darn mediavps, always changing things. What is going on with those armor entries, anyway? We don't use armor at all.
